Today You're Mine - Janis Ian

No, you’re not the first

Yes, I’ve had a past

Completely unrehearsed

A small supporting cast

But suddenly I thirst,

Afraid to drink too fast

And though I’m not your first,

I intend to be the last

Suddenly there’s something more

Than memories and time

Though I never knew the way before

Today, you’re mine

I used to be afraid

Of shadows in the air

And all your yesterdays…

They really can’t compare

For all these memories

Are clinging to the past

They change like the autumn leaves

You see — they weren’t meant to last

Suddenly there’s something more

Than memories and time

Though I never knew the way before

Today, you’re mine

Suddenly there’s something more

Than memories and time

Though I never knew the way before

Today, you’re mine
